socphoenix, Did you ever resolve this issue? i have just recently installed wine 1.1.20 on Ubuntu 9.04 and as soon as i start wine it boots me to the login screen. I have tried two seperate programs on Wine warcraft 3 ~ it will start the loading screen and then boot me to login screen Itunes ~ starts installing after about 5 seconds it boots me to login screen. this is my video driver, filename: /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/acpi/video.ko license: GPL description: ACPI Video Driver author: Bruno Ducrot srcversion: 240C6FAC0F04ADD8FA4B2C3 alias: acpi*:LNXVIDEO:* depends: output vermagic: 2.6.28-11-generic SMP mod_unload modversions parm: brightness_switch_enabled:bool Let me know if anyone has any ideas. how do i reinstall my graphics drivers? im somewhat of a linux noob, but plan on sticking with linux if i can figure out wine.

Turn off Compiz and switch to Metacity (no effects) and see if it still happens. What's the output of 'lsmod' ?

If it goes directly to the login screen, X probably crashes... What graphics card do you have. (lspci output should be more useful if you do not know, the line with VGA)

I don't know how well VIA cards are supported in Linux, but if Intel cards are any indication, not at all or not well. If it is possible to upgrade, get an NVidia card or (ugh) AMD/ATI. Anything else is like shooting in the dark (worthless in other words.) James McKenzie
